Pastor Says Facebook is Evil, But Threesomes are Evidently Okay

Sexually Suggestive Photo of a Woman and Two Men
The thing with being a public figure, particularly an outspoken figure casting moral judgment on the masses, is that you have to keep your past in mind. I deplore hypocrisy, both in myself and in others, and it always makes me laugh when those who make holier-than-thou edicts are caught with their pants down.

New Jersey’s Reverend Cedric Miller, head of the Living Word Christian Fellowship Church in Neptune, referred to Facebook as a “portal to infidelity” and required his church leaders to delete their accounts last week, an action that garnered a great deal of attention.

Turns out, though, that Miller is kind of an expert on portals, infidelity, and …

Tyler Clementi: Another Life Lost to Cyberbullying

The death of Rutgers University student Tyler Clementi was both a tragedy and a wake-up call. This is perhaps the strongest example I can think of regarding the horrible repercussions of bullying, and I hope that people everywhere can learn a lesson from this about the importance of treating everyone with common courtesy, dignity, and respect. This should have been directly addressed with past tragedies like Phoebe Prince’s suicide, and the fact that this sort of thing keeps happening just makes my stomach hurt.

In case you missed the story, Clementi, a violin virtuoso, took his own life by jumping off the George Washington Bridge following the internet streaming of a dorm room homosexual encounter. His roommate, Dharun Ravi and Molly Wei, thought it would be funny to not just publicize Clementi’s sexual orientation via the internet but to actually show the details of an event that was obviously deeply personal to Tyler Clementi.

Douches.

On a positive note, Ravi and Wei, both 18, have been charged with invasion of privacy. Whoop dee doo. Oh, and let me reiterate …

Autistic Teen Accused of Sexual Misconduct with a Child … at a Christian Summer Camp

For a long time, there was this misguided belief that associating with Christians gave a reassured implicit message of safety, serenity, and high moral ground. Not so much anymore, where a game of word association starting with “priest” goes almost immediately to “pedophile,” where televangelists rack in millions in the name of God while their constituents barely scrape by.

I’m not a religion-basher like Pamela Geller—and I do consider myself a Christian—but I think the fact that so many people buy into the supposed safety offered by the mere mention of “We’re a Christian organization” and learn, to their grief, that this really means very little since people are people is an issue worthy of discussion.

Bottom line? An autistic teenager working at a Christian camp allegedly tried to engage in sexual acts with a third-grader.

From WMUR:

Prosecutors said a worker at a New Hampshire Christian camp tried to lure an 8-year-old girl into a secluded area and sexually assault her.

Stephen Tecce, 19, of New Jersey, was indicted on a charge of attempted sexual assault. Police said he was working at Camp Spofford, a Christian family camp in western New Hampshire, when the assault took place.
